• I’m stuck endlessly in my head
• I keep going over what happened wanting to actually understand it, but every replay just drops me back into reliving the hurt blow by blow instead of figuring out why it went the way it did
• There’s a painful scene I keep going over in my head, but always as a dry summary of what it meant
• I live entirely in my head
• I keep circling the same image and the same feeling without anything shifting
